Second Month of Herbs

Each time I walk into the den, the juxtaposition between the snowy and gray outdoors and the green warmth of our small herbs strikes me. After two months of growing, I post these pictures to celebrate successes. To be totally truthful about my plant-growing-skills, I have cropped out the dead plants and empty spaces that are daily reminders of all of the seedlings I have sent to "a better place."

Tangled mess of leggy parsley.

Perhaps the parsley will become a hanging plant.

I hope to use the arugula in salad soon!
